| gaucho | 10/03/09 | 1st time @ El Prieto. 1 of 2 laps. Nice day to ride, cool temps in morning. It's a shame what the Station fire did to the mountains and trails. Technically, the trails are closed as a result of the fire. Rock/sand slides have taken out some parts of the singletrack. Lots of work will be needed to get the trails back into shape after the winter rains and expected landslides. | |
| gaucho | 10/03/09 | Station fire has devastated the vegetation and caused slides to cover some areas of the singletrack downhill. | |
| gaucho | 10/03/09 | Lap 2 of 2. Much faster than the first lap as we now knew the trail a bit. Great ride with Phil. Too bad the Station fire did what it did. Maybe Phil will post some pics of the burned out trails. | |
| kennethmicu | 09/12/09 | Just rode this trail on sept 9, 2009, a few days after the big station fire. Brown mountain in completeley burned and El prieto in 90% burned. It looks like a dessert wasteland with absolutely no vegetation anywhere. The trails are still there and somewhat rideable but with alot of erosion slides covering the trails. Saw alot of dead rabbits. | |

| Weekend Warrior | 08/21/09 | Added a couple extra miles by staying to the left at the bottom of Prieto. The road just felt wrong so I turned around and there was trhe trail. | |
| Gnarmin | 08/19/09 | lap 2 | |
| Gnarmin | 08/14/09 | Lungs felt the smoke from Santa Barbara Fire. Car next to me had broken glass when I got back to JPL. | |
| Gnarmin | 07/27/09 | I think I saw a bobcat in my lights tonight. | |
| Gnarmin | 07/23/09 | Sweet ride at night. | |

| Gnarmin | 07/18/09 | Yuck on the humidity. | |
| Gnarmin | 07/13/09 | Recovery ride. | |
| Mike.the.Spike | 05/23/09 | Nice fire road climb to get you warmed up and breaking a sweat. Then a GREAT descent through some rough/technical singletrack with babyheads, then throw in a a few creek crossings. You need to do two laps here because the fun ends too quickly! | |
| billstoudt | 05/02/09 | got in an early morning ride started sprinkling on the way back. | |
| agitate1890 | 03/15/09 | loop #2,long drive,figured we better do it twice.trails in good shape. | |
| borre13 | 12/31/08 | Pretty lonely up there today...got stopped by an older man that asked me how come all bikers always cut through and destroy the trails...he must've talked for about 15-20 minutes... | |
| Wout | 11/09/08 | Fun ride. Fire road ride up was a good warm up, but the real fun starts on the trail. | |
| Wout | 11/09/08 | Fire road is a good warm-up, but the fun starts on the single track part. Too bad the track is all downhill. Some technical climbing would have been fun. | |
| davidB. | 09/04/08 | first ride in 2 weeks or so. Heart was racing a mile into it. El Prieto much dustier than usual. A couple places not in the good shape they are in the winter. EP so much fun on a rigid | |

| RollnStone | 06/29/08 | Was getting hot at 9:00am. Tried to ride this yesterday but my crank self-destructed before I even hit the trail head. The new crank feels very good. | |

| project_d | 10/17/07 | Somehow, I sucked on the uphill. Still, though, the downhill was tacky!!! | |
| project_d | 10/07/07 | Did this as well as Sunset. Getting a bit loose, but still fun as heck! | |
| cashtar | 10/04/07 | Up and down road - no singletrack. | |
| DJ Skywise | 08/24/07 | 2nd time there and we found the trail. Awesome ride, some scary switchbacks on the cliffs. nice scenery, shade and creek crossing. | |
| jamiek | 07/29/07 | Note to self...when riding solo, always make sure you have the correct size tube. Flated out, walked/carried bike last 2 miles. Good times. | |
| ricros11 | 07/21/07 | Didn't care much for the fireroad climb, but the ride down made up for it. Singletrack was techincal but fun! | |
| jkidder | 06/20/07 | Over the bars twice.. Ouch... | |
| mtbchick | 06/17/07 | test riding the my Cannondale G1gi singlespeed bike(1 gear girl)!!! fun- but my Edge pooped out and lost the signal. | |
| jamiek | 06/10/07 | Another great ride down this trail. Someday I'll clean all the switchbacks...someday. | |

| mtbchick | 05/14/07 | yeehah i love this ride! still didn't clear the "dislocated finger" switchbacks- everything else latida! | |
| Rdog | 05/03/07 | Fun, the trail gets small in some parts | |
| singletrack | 05/01/07 | broken chain | |
| jkidder | 04/19/07 | This was my first time riding a trail this tough. I am new to mountain biking but was motivated by a friend who had to babysit the whole ride. I pulled a endo once and bailed down a small embankment into something sharp and some black mud. This is a sweet ride but probally not for beginers. Though I am glad to see what I have to look forward to. The climb was serious tough for me. | |
| mtbchick | 04/17/07 | I have for some reason 7.74 miles on this route not sure how i managed to add an extra mile??? on the big bike, my Prophet, and i even dislocated a finger. first crash ever on this trail! also my edge shows me at 8.4 mph. so i don't know why. | |
| xtrsmith | 04/07/07 | | |
| dubjay | 03/25/07 | Fun little ride here. Fireroad climb gives you a nice view of smoggy Pasadena. The singletrack has some nice switchbacks and stream crossings. | |
